Losing is not spelled Loosing. Discuss...

[Ordinary Bloke]

Some posters on here keep typing loosing when they mean losing. Why's this word so difficult to spell?

'Loosers'

Thrash the fkers within an inch of their lives I say.

Pales into insignificance compared to 'brought' instead of bought. That really fks me off that does. You can't even call it a mis spelling as it's an extra letter added to make a completely different word that makes no sense in the context it's being used in.

Not as annoying as people who say aks, instead of ask... What loosers!

I'm with the OP. Also, people who mix up 'affects' and 'effects' need to be taught the difference immediately. At gunpoint.

It’s amazing how many good threads are ruined and sent off track by pedantic spelling and grammar remarks.

Is this really so important on an internet forum used by office geeks, hobby critics and normal people?

At the end of the day, if the point is made and the poster is understood why do we need to get caught up in grammatical technicalities?

In which it's being used...

That annoys me.
